The invention relates to a process for recycling metal parts which have been contaminated by radioactive elements, especially alpha-emitters. A melt and slag are formed from the metal parts and the slag is removed. Before the melt and slag are formed, the radioactive elements must be oxidised. To that end, the contaminated metal parts can be exposed to an oxygen-containing atmosphere at a temperature below the melting point of the metal parts.

L'invention concerne un procédé de valorisation de parties métalliques contaminées par des éléments radioactifs, notamment des rayons .alpha.. Une matière en fusion et un laitier sont formés à partir des parties métalliques et le laitier est séparé de la matière en fusion. Il est prévu que les éléments radioactifs soient oxydés avant la formation de la matière en fusion et du laitier. A cet effet, les parties métalliques contaminées peuvent être soumises pendant une période donnée à une atmosphère d'oxygène, à une température inférieure à la température de fusion des parties métalliques.
